The Quiz: What natural phenomenon does Earth’s moon experience?
Tornadoes
Hurricanes
Moonquakes
Ice storms
The moon’s barren surface might seem like a quiet place, but our closest celestial neighbor experiences a natural phenomenon similar to our earthquakes. Called “moonquakes,” they aren’t quite as powerful as the ones on Earth, but they last much longer, some for up to half an hour. Moonquakes are the result of two occurrences: meteors hitting the surface of the moon or a shift in the moon’s gravitational pull from Earth, which causes squeezing and stretching of the moon’s interior.
The correct answer to this quiz is Moonquakes.
